Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I decided to go with Ariens 22" (need something compact) --- now I am confused by the two different engines ---

920012 - LCT 208cc (Never heard of)
920013 - Subaru 169cc (No headlight included)

 Any info to make this decision less painful would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks - Kelly

I thought I knew alot about engines (I was going to build my own flow bench a few years back) and find this very confusing. It nearly seems like HVAC where the distribution is fragmented and the manufacturers benefit by keeping the consumers in the dark.

The engine on my CubCadet 930 is a 357cc made by Zongshen. Add that one to the list. Also, I dare you to find good specs for this motor. I had to hunt a lot just to figure out it was made by Zongshen.
I like it though. It thumps at idle.
